This is a fully washed coffee from Burundi, specifically from the Kayanza region at 1700-1900 meters altitude. It is a unique Oro yeast-inoculated fermentation, using specially-formulated yeasts to enhance flavor complexity during an extended fermentation period. The coffee is made from Bourbon varietal and produces a medium-bodied cup with notes of blackberry and cherry, a caramel sweetness, and a cocoa finish. It has medium to bright acidity and a long aftertaste.
Papercup Coffee has been a fixture on Great Western Road in Glasgow's west end since 2012. The roastery sits inside Arch 17 at the SWG3 complex at Eastvale Place, open to the public so customers can watch the roasting process from start to finish. A second café opened in Motherwell. The mission is deliberately uncomplicated: source, roast, share great coffee. Packaging is designed for recyclability throughout, and a refill discount encourages customers to bring bags back. The range includes single origins from Ethiopia, India, and Colombia alongside the house Ritual Espresso blend.
